The First Sip
A Story About Love At First Sight
It was love at first sip
the first taste
the exhilaration
the taste of liberation
and the taste of relief
intertwined with pain
a way to breathe
but too young to know
the chokehold grip
the substance could hold
for this became a constant
for the years to come
a numbing method
relief entangled with guilt
like a horse with blinders
it turned into the product of a full night's sleep
it turned into failing relationships
it turned into failing myself
love at first sip
the way it made me love me
for now I am in control
love at first sip
how damaging it turned out to be

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
